This movie was about a local bad boy/gang member (Wah) who gets the visit of a second cousin (Ngor), he is used to living alone but since she is sick his auntie decided that it would be best for her to stay with him until she got all of the exams she needed. He lives in a big city and she came from the country. While she is staying with him she realizes that his friends are always calling him and looking for him.
He turns out to be a local bad boy who is always in trouble or is always trying to get his friends out of trouble. His best friend picks a fight with the wrong gang and ends up almost dead a few times and Wah always ends up rescuing him. His friend is trying to make it big so he can help his parents back home and anything else is not acceptable for him. Wah strikes up a romance with the cousin after he goes looking for her and she breaks up with her Doctor boyfriend. Ngor is always waiting for him and not knowing if he will come back or not because of the lifestyle he has always rescuing his friends from trouble. Towards the end his friend decides to kill a high profile criminal, since he is unsuccessful Wah ends up finishing the job for him. His friend gets killed and he ends up dead which is the ending I prefer.
The theme of this movie is loyalty and determination. His friend was determined to be someone even if it mean him having to die to get it. The main character remains loyal to his friends even though he screws up a lot of times, he is always there to "save" him.
I enjoyed watching this movie, it was sad but I think it mirrors the life of many people who move to a big city and try to make it big. This particular character chooses the wrong way of getting recognition but usually when people move to another city they will try everything until they have made a name for themselves.
